"Chris and Scott were very professional. They only needed two small holes to install the new wires and light. The cleanup in the kitchen was manageable. The price for the job was reasonable. They finished earlier than quoted. I recommended them to my coworker who needed to rewire her thermostat. She was satisfied with the work. I plan to use them again for other home projects."

"This was the first time I worked with â Let it glow electricâ and I am 100% satisfied with their service. They did three different jobs....(1). Wiring from my electrical panel to a brand new outside hot tube, (2) rewiring within my generator transfer case and (3) installing a second heating and backup system within my master bathroom.. The jobs were all completed in less than five hours. All jobs were completed satisfactory and left very clean. â Let it glow electricalâ will now be my â go toâ electrical company. Thank you."

"Wilson brothers did a great job. On time, best price, neat, and very knowledgeable. Love the system. I live in a small house(800 square feet) it cools the entire thing. It also has dehumidifier and heat. My electric bill was 58 dollars in August. Excellent purchase. Excellent company.

Three of the five heads are marked by the numbers in the blue circle. On the inside of the house is where you will find the mounted units. The slim ducts run alongside the white arrows and will eventually be covered to match the exterior of the house.
The slim ducts in the basement ceiling that connect from the branch box all the way to the 5 different heating and cooling units. These will be covered by the ceiling tiles once the job is finished.

"An excellent electrician. Prompt, well prepared, and efficient process. Did a great job of replacing our 65 year old fuse box with a new breaker box as well as wiring the stove and the dryer bringing everything up to code. I highly recommend Phil for an electrical work you might have!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It might seem tempting to use 14-gauge wires for your outlets, as they can run a little cheaper. But, when it comes to electrical work, it’s best not to cut costs less you overload your circuit. A 12-gauge wire will ensure that you’re protecting the outlet (and your circuit breaker) from any potential overloads that might incur, as it can handle a little more amplitude than a 14-gauge wire.

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.

There are many signs it is time to replace an electrical panel, starting with flickering lights. Other tell-tale signals include overheating appliances, light fixtures that cause an electric shock, hissing or crackling from the breaker box, burned or blackened spots near the breaker box, and breakers that trip whenever activating power-hungry appliances like microwaves.

The process of hiring a reliable electrician begins by searching for local professionals and verifying that they hold a master electrician certification and the proper licensing for your area. After that, you should read through reviews from past customers to see the kind of service you can expect from the contractor, as well as look at the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to check for a history of company complaints. You can also ask for customer references to make sure you’re choosing a reputable professional.

Type S or T fuses don’t require any special removal or installation tools. However, replacing a cartridge-style fuse is easier and safer when using a fuse-puller tool. All of these tools should be available anywhere you can buy fuses.
